These recordings were made by the Blue Ridge Parkway Folklife Project, a study conducted by the American Folklife Center in cooperation with the National Park Service. Fieldwork for the project took place in the summer of 1978 with an additional visit in 1979. The two discs present a cross-section of the region's religious expression -- hymn-singing, prayer, and sermons from church services, performances of gospel music by local trios and quartets, a baptism at a creek, and stories of religious conversion or a call to the ministry. A 96-page booklet describes the region and its religious expression and annotates each of the selections.
